Section A
1.W: Has my order arrived yet? I have been expecting it last week.
M：I called the company this morning. They had some labor problems, so your order will be
shipped late. It should be here by the end of the week.
Q；What has caused the delay of the shipment?
2.W: I don’t agree with Mr. Johnson’s views on social welfare. He seems to suggest the poor are
robbing the rich.
M: He might have used better words to express his idea, but I think what he said makes a lot of
sense.
Q：What does the man mean?
3.M：Liz, I just found out I have a meeting and I can’t pick up the kids after their soccer practice.
Would you be able to pick them up in time?
W：Yes, that won’t be a problem. I think I can finish early today.
Q：Why does the man say he can’t pick up the kids?
4.W: Mary is going to get a little dog from one of her relatives.
M: Really?But I hear her apartment building is about to place a ban on pet animals.
Q：What does the man imply?
5.W：I can never tell whether it’s Lisa or Gale on the phone. Their voices sound incredibly
similar.
M: That’s about the only thing they have in common for twins, believe it or not.
Q：What does the man mean?
6.W: Jay,what does the fax from our associates in Britain say?
M：They want to know if the economic crisis would affect our ability to carry out the deal we
signed last November.
Q：What are the speakers talking about?
7.M: Do you think you'll be able to get this ink stain out of my pants?
W: It won't be a problem, but I need to send them over to our main cleaning ’s an
extra day’s time.
Q：What does the woman mean?
8.W: That looks like a protest rally. I wonder what they are protesting against.
M: That sign says they are against importing luxury goods from Europe. They seemed to be
getting so worked up about that.
Q：What are the speakers talking about?
Conversation One
W：What is it, Bob? (9)You sounded pretty serious on the phone. Have we still got a budget
problem?
M：I don’ know. I hope not. The meeting's on Friday. But that’s not what I want to talk to you
about. Er, close the door, will you? It’s Marsha.
W: Marsha?What about her?
M: I'm worried. I don’t know what to do. (10)She’s just not performing. We may have to let her
go.
W: Fire her? She’s been with us a long time, Bob. If she leaves, it’ll be a big loss to us. She’s
done really excellent work.
M：Yes. But lately, the last month or so, in fact, there have been a lot of problems. She’s changed.
Not only does she have a tendency to be moody all the time, but she misses appointments, doesn’
t follow through on projects, and doesn't seem to plan anything till the last minute.
W: Em, did she ever explain why she didn’t show up for the Denver trip?
M：No. She said she was sorry and that it wouldn’t happen again. (11) Something about a mix- up
on arrangements to get to the airport. Now, whenever anybody mentions the subject to her, she just
goes silent. I don’t know. Thank goodness, David pulled us out of the hole on that one.
W: Yes, he did a really fine job, filling in for Marsha like that at the last minute.
M：(12)I don’t think it was the first time he’s had to do that. If we knew all the facts, I think we’
d find that he's been covering for Marsha on quite a few projects.
9. What did the man do before he came to see the woman?
10. What does the man say about Marsha?
11. How did Marsha explain why she didn't show up for the Denver trip?
12. What does the man say about David?
Conversation Two
M：You also hire the mistresses of Oxford High School for girls. How many girls do you have
here?
W：We have 615 girls.
M: in your experience, do girls do better academically and later professionally in single-sex
schools?
W：Yes. I think they do better academically and you can measure that very crudely from the
examination results, (13) I also think they do better academically because they have more
opportunities to take the leading role in discussions and in managerial responsibilities.(14)I think
they see the role models of the chief positions in the school being held by women.
M：I wonder if you could say then in a few words what the advantages are for a girl at a single-sex
, I think within the classroom, she’s going to have full opportunity to express her own
opinions. She isn’t going to be shouted down by over-confident young gentlemen.
W: Are teenagers in particular, do you think, sheltered too much from contact with the opposite
sex? Does this cause them difficulties when they find themselves in mixed groups?
M：Well, I would like to find the parents who could shelter girls from the opposite sex if they live
in Oxford.(15)They encounter boys all the time socially out of school, and through debating
societies and things like that, some school activities as well.
M: So, no disadvantages at all?
W：I don’t think there are any disadvantages. I think that it’s grossly overstated that one needs to
have contact with the opposite sex right through the whole of life, in the classroom and outside the
classroom and at all ages.
13. What does the woman say about the girls in her school?
14. What do we learn about the woman's school?
15. What does the woman say about the girls' social life?
